Emotional attachment to consoles/games

[caffeinade]

I bought my Nintendo DS Lite with my own money as a child, pretty sure that cost me ~$200 AUD, and while that's nothing today, it was a fair bi to a child.
That was the first time I bought an electronic device for myself, and having proper ownership over something, something that I had wanted and had worked for was very satisfying.
Playing it quickly became my favorite pastime.

It wasn't my first handheld device, that would've been my GBA Advance SP, that I received as a xmas present a year or two before hand, and that I also enjoyed to its fullest.
My NDS Lite was different though, I owned it for much longer, played it for longer periods of time, made friends with it, fought my little brother because of it.
Actually, I sold the GBA to be able to afford the NDS, I wasn't happy about that, but how else is a little child supposed to earn enough money.

Mmm, one of the reasons that made me really want a DS, was the GBAs dwindling software support.
I was kinda angry at Nintendo for abandoning the GBA, every time I went into a game store, the GBA section would be smaller and smaller.
What else is a child supposed to feel.

Oh, and to the people who advocate for Nintendo to just kill off 3DS's software support, and focus on the Switch.
Remember that it barely takes anything from them to make 3DS games.
They can basically throw ten people in a room for a year and crank out a new high end 3DS game, compared to the 50+ team it would take for a similarly positioned Switch game.
The 3DS doesn't really drain resources away from Switch titles.

So yeah.
I don't own my DS Lite anymore.
Even though I played with it for over a thousand of hours, easily: it just isn't something I need in my life now.
My little brother has ownership of the DS, and he doesn't really use it all too much.
I've a high end PC, and that can play anything I want it to (basically everything).
While my PC is a big part of my life right now, I'm not attached to it emotionally.
It's hard for me to get attached to the individual components, as I'd prefer them be used in other machines, and make other people happy.
